Hi, i recently bumped into this issue with timeouts. In your sample
code, i noticed that curl_global_init is not called. So i tried
calling curl_global_init before any thread is started, only to find
out that the problem is something else. Calling curl_easy_setopt(curl,
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1); seems to solve the problem. I am on ubuntu 9.10.
What i understand is, if we do not need timeouts during domain name
resoluiton, then everything is fine with the standard setup right?
